lookup not a function

[WilliamRagstad]

I get the error:

Line 838 in de073ed

var type = mime.lookup(path)

Please change to:

var type;
if (mime.lookup) type = mime.lookup(path)

Hi @WilliamRagstad you likely have a node_modules folder that is not correct. You can delete it and run npm install again to fix it, and run npm ls to look for any errors about bad dependencies.

To serve static files the type needs to be there, and if you don't want to use the automatic type lookup, if you set the content-type header yourself, this module will not attempt to look up the type.
